coberts

English translation: sheds

Catalan to English translations [PRO]
Agriculture / grounds of a house
Catalan term or phrase: coberts
Description of an old farmhouse:
"Des del cos principal podem accedir tant al garatge com als coberts de la part posterior i al safareig" and:
"La masia consta de: planta baixa, planta pis i planta sota coberta envoltada per un conjunt de coberts i terres de conreu. "
Does this mean fields? I can't find it in any of the usual dictionaries.

English translation:sheds
Explanation:
I think you could say 'sheds' or even 'outbuildings' here. But I think shed would be more appropriate.

agree  Berni Armstrong: I've usually used sheds, because it's an umbrella term - as is coberts :-).
